[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1103711, member: 54178"] I am [B]very [/B]uncomfortable with a two lug bolt having receiver contact with only one lug. This means that undue stress is placed on the lug in contact AND the bolt face will tilt toward the non-contacting lug during ignition. This latter is not conducive to broker bullet alignment in the throat of the barrel, to say the least. I go with Gene's recommendation of checking contact area with Prussian blue machinists marker to check [I]every[/I] new rifle for proper lug contact. [/QUOTE]
